Video has surfaced of Mike Tyson beating up another passenger on a plane. It was while the plane was on the ground and people were disembarking. In the video, you can see Tyson standing over the other guy in their seats. Tyson’s arm is swinging back and forth over and over in what looks like body blows. All the while, the guy holding the camera is rushing towards the fight saying, “Come on Mike, let’s go.” Apparently Mike and the guy were friendly before the fight, even taking pictures, but the guy was drunk and wouldn’t leave Mike alone. Tyson says that at one point, the other guy threw a water bottle at him. He needed medical attention after and wouldn’t cooperate with cops, so no charges were pressed against Mike.
There weren’t many people left on the plane when this happened, but what if this would have been in the air? We’ve seen the stories where there’s a unruly passenger and the others gang up and duct tape him to a seat. What do you do if that unruly guy is Mike freaking Tyson? Who’s going to be the first one to step up to hold him down? Does duct tape work on Mike Tyson? Who gets to be the guy who unties a furious Mike Tyson? I think at that point, you just abandon the plane in the desert and let him gnaw his own way out.
